this moment as well from oscar night when michelle obama announced the win er winner for best picture "argo." the shot on the left is what actually aired. look at the shot on the right, this is a picture of the first lady as it aired in iran. they covered up her shoulders and moved up the whole front of the dress. this is because of iran's strict sensors, really ironic given the fact that what she was announcing was that "argo" was the best picture of the year, which was about u.s. hostages that were taken in iran. so they said we don't mind about the movie but we're going to cover up the shoulders and the sleeves. bill: they did a pretty good job. i said which one is the real one. martha: the dress she wore was beautiful. bill: they would be lucky to get macfarlane back. martha: i think they'll be knocking at his door. bill: at the end of our show we are going to do a show thune ours. that's what he specializes in. he has covered olympic runner oscar pistorius for years and now this south african sports reporter questions if he ever knew who oscar was in the first place. we're going to tal
